Need some voicemail help. - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Don't know what I did, but I was using a 2.1 rom and it was sending text voicemail notifications. Well I went back to 1.5 and the voicemail app is not receiving the voicemails, I am still getting text notification.

Try going into call settings and putting in your number or *86. Or do a full wipe and install of the ROM
Running DamageControl V1...fixin' to try 1.1

Were you using GVoice for voicemail on the 2.1 and now using sprint voicemail on 1.5? If so did you disconnect your mobile line to your gvoice account?

Nope didn't use google voice.... And I think it might be something with the actual voicemail system. If I ran ruu and then started over, would that work?

Ok fixed it.... ruu'd and now everything is straight

Visual Voicemail on CM 4.2.3.1

loving the heck out of CM, but i'm having a very specific issue:
I have the unlimited android plan, activated VV, all the good stuff. However, whenever I miss a call, and someone leaves me a voicemail message, I do not receive the message. What I get instead is a text message from a 954(?) area code, that has the date, time, and number of the person who called me. no voicemail at all, just the text message. Anyone else having this problem, or know how to correct it? i've wiped/reflashed CM and 1.6 dev, removed and reinstalled VV.
Are you using TMO Visual Voicemail or the Visual Voicemail from PhoneFusion?
Phonefusion sucks and it forwards your voicemails to a different number that they host from their site...if you are using that version, you need to go to the site and follow the instructions to unsubscribe. Simply uninstalling the app will not change your voicemail back...
If you are using TMO, did you call customer care and have them activate it on their end or only on your end? Also, check your voicemail number and make sure it's the correct one. You can check it in settings and TMO will tell you what the number should be...
I am running the same rom and no issues at all with TMO VV.

Cure for no Sprint VVM notification problem...

Ok... just tried this... and it worked. I had went on Sprint's website to block the annoying "9016" sms messages, and used the blacklist. It was fine at first, but out of the blue, I stopped getting my VVM notifications. Out of desperation, I went back and un-blocked 9016 in my account, and viola! VVM works again... Hopefully this will help others.
I downloaded super private conversation and added that # in my list. I still get the texts, I just don't get the notification and the messages are moved to another inbox. Maybe that's why I haven't had problems?

Yes, that's exactly why you haven't had problems. You MUST receive the 9016 texts one way or another in order for VVM to get the signal to download the voicemail.

SMS Issue

I can send and receive texts from everyone but my wife.
Both of us have RUU'd to updated Sprint HK version.
However, I couldn't send our receive SMS from her before this.
We can't use Hangouts SMS, Sense SMS, or any other messaging app.
The conversations DO show up in Google Voice, but we never get notifications from any selected messaging app we choose.
The weird thing is, I can send her MMS fine on any messaging app.
Any ideas?
Disable the number through Google voice or try the ##72786#?

Well as long as your on sense ##72786# does a reset to the profile and prl portions it's solved issues in the past for me and was just trying to explore all options
Of course you click reset after entering the code

You can do the same thing through "Activate this device" in the settings. I tried that with both phones.
MMS is working fine through Sense messaging app, but SMS doesn't work at all.
Alright.
I guess since I used Google Voice for Voicemail, it disabled the Voicemail app that comes with Sense.
Deleted Voice from account, and now Voicemail app and messaging work.
Thank you for the help. Not the first time Google Voice screwed something up for my phone.
But, if I switch to AOSP, I'll have to use Voice again, so will it screw up again?
Only one way to find out lol

Thanks again. I would have bashed my head against the wall sooner or later over this. No SMS app was working.

It's possible it messes up again, but don't think it will, but you will never know unless you try it

[Q] Voice Mail Notifications

I have not been receiving voicemail notifications on my Turbo. I don't want to have to use Visual Voice Mail. Does anyone have any ideas? Please help, thanks
Did you set it up? This was the first phone I've had in a while that I had to set everything up again and until I did, I wasn't getting them either obviously. Also, make sure that the box to receive notifications is turned on for the app under setting-apps-vm.
I'm having the same problem. Google Voice wasn't picking up for some reason so I switched to VZW VVM and I just flat out don't get a notification even with them enabled. I have to go in and check to see if I have any VMs after I miss a call.

Thanks for the help, I've decided to give Google Voice a try. I get text displays of the messages as well as the audio files to my email
You need to log onto your verizon account on your computer and then switch the voicemail. Go to the free one and not the visual voicemail. Something like that. I just looked and the interface changed and I can't find where to do it now. It is a plan feature.

voicemail notification Lollipop

so on kitkat i had the voicemail icon stuck. i use google voice, and i think this is just a standard verizon voicemail icon. i've checked and there are no new voicemails.
i figured when i upgraded to lollipop it would go away. well guess what, it didn't. so i did a factory reset, and now it's back.
i found that by deleting the data and wiping the cache on one of the 4 phone apps, i'm able to get rid of it, but then when i reset the device it comes back.
any help please!!!!

What happens if you go to settings-apps-voicemale untick show notification?
Have you maybe disabled the default messaging app?
The verizon system voicemail notifications come through to your phone as an encoded txt message, so if the messaging app isn't correctly parsing those to the system, it may not clear the voicemail icon.

i have disabled the both the verizon and motorola native messaging apps. i use hangouts. any suggestion on how to correct the messaging apps?
To test that theory, enable the Verizon messaging app again, then have someone leave you a voicemail. Call your voicemail and delete it. It should clear the voicemail notification. Then you can probably disable it again and see if it still happens the next time someone leaves a voicemail for you.

already have this unticked.
Oh, and check that it really is the Verizon voicemail indicator. In your notifications, hold your finger down on the notification, then touch the "i" that comes up.

Reply #16 in the link above should fix it from the sounds of it.

i followed those steps though i'm doubtful it will work. i was already able to check myvzw voicemail by just hitting *86 and there were no messages. when i followed these steps there were also no messages. i'm restarting now.
and it's back up and running with "2 new voicemail".
ugh.....
Did you try leaving yourself a voicemail and clearing it that way? Someone else mentioned it in the thread but didn't see you respond to doing it.

So call *86 and delete the voicemails
That's the point, there are no voicemails.just notifications.
I'm still looking into a way to fix it man and as soon as I can find something substantial, I'll let you know. I can only imagine how annoying having those persistent notifications would be
